About This Item
Lagos, 1893. Good plus.. Eight works in one, varying paginations (see below). Contemporary quarter sheep and marbled boards, spine gilt. Moderate wear to spine and edges, boards rubbed. Occasional underlining in red pencil. Moderate tanning. A neat sammelband of seven short works and one longer essay by Agustin Rivera, a Mexican polymath and prolific author of the late-19th century. Rivera was a priest, historian, theologian, philosopher, and grammarian, amongst other pastimes, and published nearly two hundred works during his career on a smorgasbord of subjects. He perhaps singlehandedly sustained the career of the local printer in Lagos de Moreno, Rivera's home town; the body of work in OCLC published by Ausencio Lopez Arce, who printed all the works present here, consists almost exclusively of writings by Rivera. The lengthiest piece included here is an extended essay that ponders the use of philosophy to the uneducated classes -- in this case, women, natives, everyday businessmen, and artisans. The other seven works address a mix of religious, artistic, philosophical, and pedagogical topics. A full list is as follows:
